Both zero emission machines, the 5065e wheel loader and 1445e telehandler, are fitted with a 96-volt lithium-ion battery.

The running times are said to be up to 4 hours without intermediate charging with four different charging plug options available for charging the machines. 

As standard, all models have a Deutz engine with 55 kW / 75 hp; an engine with 74.4 kW / 100 hp is optionally available for the models 8105, 8115 and 8095T. The newly developed drive system provides four operating modes (Power, Eco, Road and CSD). 

The load-independent flow distribution (LUDV) ensures equal distribution of the hydraulic oil to the individual control circuits. As a result, several functions can be simultaneously performed independent of the load, e.g. lifting, extending and tipping out.

There are two cabin options available for all machines in the 8-series. The standard cabin allows for a compact vehicle height of 2.49 metres, except for models 8115 and 8095T, which have a height of 2.69 metres.

The fully hydraulic quickhitch system, ‘Smart Attach’, is a new and improved version of the quickhitch plate and comes as standard in the 8-series. Kramer says that the system enables hydraulically-driven attachments to be coupled with ‘Smart Attach’ without the need for the operator to exit the vehicle, as connection with the hydraulic circuit is automatic.

A new feature is the optional travelling speed of 40 km/h, Kramer says that this allows increased productivity to be achieved when working over longer distances. 

Christian Stryffeler, Managing Director of Kramer-Werke GmbH says that Kramer is focusing on the French market. “That’s why Intermat is an important platform for us. We are also looking forward to showcasing our new generation of 8-series wheel loaders and telescopic wheel loaders here.

“With the intelligent travel drive, the operator can customise the machine to his individual needs and the corresponding application, thereby reducing his fuel consumption by between 10 and 15%.”
